Ruins of Pueblo Alto

 

Details of the internal structure at Pueblo Arroyo, Chaco Culture National Historic Park

The ruins of Peublo Arroyo once had numerous levels, including subterranean rooms and elevated floors reached by ladders. Unfortunately, the early discoverers and archeologists at Chaco Canyon didn't understand the true value of the wooden beams and ladders, and used most of them for firewood. At bottom right in this photo is a type of shelf, or cabinet built into the wall of a dwelling, perhaps intended for storage of personal items.
